we have to think about the geography of pakistan, the safe havens that are in pakistan and how that is truly the problem when we look at terrorist threats to our country. geographically it's tough to reach those regions and we have a lot of headlines that talk about drone attacks there. one other article today suggests that we need troops on the ground and we need bases in afghanistan because we need to get to some of these other areas that will remain a problem, in these tribal areas. how does that kind of figure into this conversation as well? again, coming back to our national security and keeping our country safe, where does that fit in? >> right. well in theory, jenna, if you just had a few hundred american commandos in maybe three different place necessary afghanistan you could do a lot of what you needed. but how do you sustain those three bases of a few hundred commandos each? you've got to have support for them. you have to keep the afghan army and police strong enough so they can hold their country together and not have it over thrown by the taliban. you've got to give them a

drone strike inside pakistan in less than two weeks. the obama administration has begun 2013 with a flurry of drone attacks inside pakistan, raising speculation is accelerating the bombings before its capacity to carry them out is diminished with a planned withdrawal from afghanistan by the end of next year. according to a tally by the website long war journal, u.s. drones have already killed as many as 11 civilians and 30 suspected militants in the first 10 days of the year. if confirmed, that would mean a death ratio of more than one civilian for every three suspected militants. it would also already exceed the official civilian death toll for 2012, though that number is likely to small because u.s. policy deems all adult males as militants unless contrary evidence emerges after their deaths. according to the washington post, the future stationing of cia bases that launch the drone strikes will be among the topics discussed by the white house and afghan president karzai during karzai's current visit to washington. the obama administra

pakistan is probably building more nuclear weapons than any other country in the world. pakistan is a very fragile system that can disintegrate at any time. we're not prepared for that. the whole challenge of the persian gulf, we're not prepared for that. i think it's accurate to say that by appointing the secretary of state and the secretary of defense that he has, john kerry and hagel, they're communicating accurately the minimalist approach to the world. you can make a case for that. but neither, neither of them nor the president has a positive vision of how you're going to deal with a worldwide virus that is increasingly destabilizing the planet. and that's what's happening from pakistan through north africa to syria and i think potentially in europe and the united states. >> i have less than a minute here. i need one-word answers from you. joe biden made a bit of a slip up talking about how hap he was going to be president of the united states. >> joe biden would be happy to be president of the united states and i think he is planning to run, if possible. >> quickly
